Handling of discs
Disc handling precautions
Handling
Hold the discs so that you do not
touch the playing surface.
Discs which can be played with this unit

CD (12 cm, 8 cm), and the audio part of CDV, CD-G, CD-EG
and CD-EXTRA.
Use discs that comply with the IEC standard, for example
a disc carrying the
marking on the label surface.
COMPACT
DIGITAL AUDIO
Label side
Playing side
Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side
of the discs.
Sticker
Never play a cracked or warped disc
Sticky paste
Cleaning
Disc accessories
If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly

wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth
(or similar) from the center of the disc
outwards in a radial manner.
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound
quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should
not be used with this system because they may cause
malfunction.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for
a long period of time, remove it from
the player and store it in its case.
Notes on cassette tape

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
To store cassette tapes
After an important recording has been finished, break the

safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being
erased or recorded on accidentally.
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to

direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat.
Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
For A side
For B side
When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind
the reel hub to remove the slack.
To re-record
Apply tape only to the position where

the tab has been removed.
1.Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape

Notes
Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be
easily broken. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.
2.Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.
Preparation section
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.

Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed
disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Please do not use discs which are not round because they
may cause a malfunction.
